The Xamarin.Forms CarouselPage is a page that users can swipe from side to side to navigate through pages of content, like a gallery. This article demonstrates how to use a CarouselPage to navigate through a collection of pages.

Overview

The layout of a CarouselPage is identical on each platform. Pages can be navigated through by swiping right to left to navigate forwards through the collection, and by swiping left to right to navigate backwards through the collection. The following screenshots show the first page in a CarouselPage instance:

Swiping from right to left moves to the second page, as shown in the following screenshots:

Swiping from right to left again moves to the third page, while swiping from left to right returns to the previous page.

With both approaches, the CarouselPage will then display each page in turn, with a swipe interaction moving to the next page to be displayed. This navigation experience will feel natural and familiar to Windows Phone users.
